Why do dentists use resin for tooth fillings? Dentists sometimes use resin for tooth fillings because it offers certain advantages over other materials used to make dental fillings. Dentists use fillings to repair teeth damaged by decay. Resin fillings (sometimes called composite resin fillings) are made from a mixture of plastic and very tiny, fine glass particles. Unlike a silver-colored amalgam filling, a resin filling blends in with the color of your teeth. Resin is also stronger than amalgam because it bonds directly to the teeth. One downside, however, is that resin fillings cost more than amalgam fillings.
